In our experiment, we used a visualization recommendation algorithm (composed of one search algorithm and one oracle algorithm) to generate visualizations for the user on one of two datasets. We then asked the user to evaluate the tool on a variety of metrics (confidence in understanding data, confidence in answer, efficiency, ease of use, utility, and overall).

Given a search algorithm (bfs or dfs), an oracle (compassql or dziban), and a dataset (birdstrikes or movies), we would like to predict a user’s average score for a given metric. In addition, we would like to know if the choice of search algorithm and oracle has any meaningful impact on a user’s ratong for these metrics.

In our pairs plots, we want to make sure we don’t have highly correlated parameters (highly correlated parameters means that our model has difficulty differentiating the effect of such parameters).

We now look at a average response for confidence in understanding the data using different combinations of search and oracle via draws from the model posterior. The thicker, shorter line represents the 95% credible interval, while the thinner, longer line represents the 50% credible interval.

Trace plots help us check whether there is evidence of non-convergence for our model.

plot(models$efficiency)

In our pairs plots, we want to make sure we don’t have highly correlated parameters (highly correlated parameters means that our model has difficulty differentiating the effect of such parameters).

We now look at a average response for efficiency using different combinations of search and oracle via draws from the model posterior. The thicker, shorter line represents the 95% credible interval, while the thinner, longer line represents the 50% credible interval.

Trace plots help us check whether there is evidence of non-convergence for our model.

plot(models$utility)

In our pairs plots, we want to make sure we don’t have highly correlated parameters (highly correlated parameters means that our model has difficulty differentiating the effect of such parameters).

pairs(
  models$utility,

  pars = c("b_datasetmovies",
           "b_oracledziban",

We now look at a average response for Utility using different combinations of search and oracle via draws from the model posterior. The thicker, shorter line represents the 95% credible interval, while the thinner, longer line represents the 50% credible interval.
